Vital Records
We have a dedicated website for Romanian Vital Records and other Romanian legal documents that we can obtain, long-established at www.RomanianDocuments.net.
​​
We can also provide vital records from over 90 jurisdictions through our contacts and research, including the relevant Apostille and Embassy Legalisation procedures, so that you can use the document where you need it.
​
Our "unrecognized states" expertise means we can also deal with vital records from these "state-like" entities, and obtain recognition for your rights directly, or with appropriate corresponding documentation from a recognized state.
